For Mother

About Me

Name: Martha

Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you.
I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com.
Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.
